Two posts ago I was complaining about bad gut aches, right? Well, I finally wen to the doctor yesterday to see if I can get this thing figured out because as far as I can tell, I can’t link it to a food intolernace.

So as of right now I am waiting on x-ray results. And if the x-ray fails to show any potential reason for my pain then the next thing to try is an ultrasound and if that doesn’t work then a colonoscopy may be in the books of “to dos.”

I am very anxious to figure out what the heck is going on with me because not only is it affecting my appetite but it is also begining to affect my daily life! There are some days where I can’t physically work or do anything, including my weight training, because my guts ache so much. And some days my tummy ache persists for three days! Plus, my dad passed away from colon cancer not even a year ago yet and although the doctor does not think it is cancer, if we have not figured anything out after the ultrasound then that is what one of the things he is going to seriously be checking for with the colonoscopy; joy.

As of right now, I am trying to patiently wait for the phone call about the x-ray I had done yesterday.

Just a quick post to let you all know how I am doin’.

Well, I lost two pounds this week! I gained one last week and I lost it plus one this week.

So this week my goals are going to be to continue to write down everything I eat, ensuring that I consume 1200-1400 calories a day while keeping my protein intake close to 40% of my daily calorie intake, with fat being less than 15%. Second I am going to ensure that I do cardio every day, 20-40 minutes. Plus I will be starting a workout class twice a week starting Tuesday and I will be continually following my weight training program. By sticking to these goals I am hoping to lose two pounds by next Friday.

 We shall see how it goes eh?
